Owen Nichols commented on GEODE-7013:
-------------------------------------
Note that all of the functionality requested in this ticket was working in the
very first release of Geode, and is still in Geode documentation, but appears
to have been lost during GEODE-1597
> `help start` in gfsh should display a summary of all start commands
> -------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GEODE-7013
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7013
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: gfsh
> Reporter: Owen Nichols
> Priority: Major
>
> When using the gfsh help command, it would be nice to be able to type only a
> partial command to see help for all commands that begin with what I've typed.
> For example, I know lots of commands start with {{start}} and I want a quick
> summary to decide which one I need, so I type {{help start}} and this is all
> I get:
> Observed:
> {code}
> gfsh>help start
> no help exists for this command.
> {code}
> Desired:
> {code}
> gfsh>help start
> start gateway-receiver (Not Available)
> Start the Gateway Receiver on a member or members.
> start gateway-sender (Not Available)
> Start the Gateway Sender on a member or members.
> start jconsole (Available)
> Start the JDK's JConsole tool in a separate process. JConsole will be
> launched, but connecting to GemFire must be done manually.
> start jvisualvm (Available)
> Start the JDK's Java VisualVM (jvisualvm) tool in a separate process.
> Java VisualVM will be launched, but connecting to GemFire must be done
> manually.
> start locator (Available)
> Start a Locator.
> start pulse (Available)
> Open a new window in the default Web browser with the URL for the Pulse
> application.
> start server (Available)
> Start a GemFire Cache Server.
> start vsd (Available)
> Start VSD in a separate process.
> Use help <command name> to display detailed usage information for a specific
> command.
> Help with command and parameter completion can also be obtained by entering
> all or a portion of either followed by the "TAB" key.
> {code}
> Also it would be nice if tab-completion worked for {{hint}} and {{help}}
> commands.
